New MSN worm?

Subject: New MSN worm?
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 21:21:23 +0100
Just arrived home, had four persons on my MSN contact list who had sent me the 
following messages:
"LOOK! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':O'-smiley at 
the end.)
"LMFAO! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':P'-smiley at 
the end.)
"rofl! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':D'-smiley at 
the end.)

I tried to wget the file, but got a 404. chello.nl has probably already dealt 
with the problem,
at least on their own servers, but you can never be sure...
Thus, I haven't been able to get the .pif and try to disassemble it or check 
the contents,
and after a quick googling I haven't found anything that matches this new (?) 
virus/worm.

Anyone else knows about this and if there's any spyware remover / antivirus 
that fixes the problem?

Regards,
Magnus Törnekrona
